The field of generative AI is rapidly advancing, with a focus on improving design and visualization capabilities. Recent developments have enabled the generation of high-quality 3D scenes, images, and other visual content, with increased control over spatial compositions and styles. Interactive systems, such as those leveraging 3D virtual canvases, are being developed to empower users with precise spatial manipulation and editing capabilities. Additionally, research is exploring the application of generative AI in various domains, including cartography, product design, and strategic plan development. Noteworthy papers in this area include HOLODECK 2.0, which introduces a vision-language-guided framework for 3D world generation with interactive scene editing, and Canvas3D, which enables precise spatial control for image generation with constraints from a 3D virtual canvas. These advancements have the potential to significantly impact various industries and applications, from gaming and virtual reality to urban planning and decision-making.
